Tammie holds an Associate of Arts Degree in Psychology from Victor Valley Community College in Victorville, California. She brings on-board personal experiences in the area of drug and alcohol addiction from her own life experiences. Her story is not unique in tragedy or bottom too low to discover a solution through the program of Alcoholic Anonymous. She relates to the parents and young adults at Gatehouse Academy because the life of her 26 year old young adult is also in the program of Recovery today. Being a mother of a young person who struggled with these difficult issues gives Tammie awareness necessary for excellent communication within the Gatehouse Academy department of Family Communications.
